I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cologne, funded by the ERC Project “Housing, Inequality and Public Policy” supervised by Sebastian Siegloch.

I obtained a PhD from Paris School of Economics and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University in December 2025, under the supervision of Laurent Gobillon (PSE) and Pierre-Philippe Combes (Sciences Po).

I’m also an affiliate of the LIEPP in Sciences Po. I was a 2023 Palladio Foundation fellow, and spent Spring 2023 as a visiting scholar at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, sponsored by Gilles Duranton.

My research interests lie at the intersection between urban economics, environmental economics, and political economy. I use novel granular GIS data in causal settings to evaluate how land use regulations shape housing markets. In particular, I’m interested in how environmental regulations can help cities become more resilient to climate change, while addressing affordability challenges.
